How far along: 17 weeks
Baby bump: Looking more like I should lay off the holiday treats more than a legit baby bump.
Gender Prediction: Momma's boy.
Weight gain: 5 to 6 lbs... Varies slightly throughout the day. 5 in the morning, 6 in the evening! ;-)
Maternity clothes: Nope. Still not yet. However, I did hit up Express this weekend to find a dress for out department Christmas party. I figured I could get away with it just by going up a couple sizes... Even though I was prepared for it, it was still a little depressing. I probably won't try to do that again! Ha!
Stretch marks: None so far! *Crossing fingers*. Trying to down water and stay as well-hydrated as possible. Currently looking into finding a cream or oil for extra mositurization, like Tummy Butter.
Belly button in or out: In like Flynn!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Sleep: Sleeping great when I'm actually sleeping. I just wish I could get a solid night of sleep without having to take a bathroom break.... Maybe I would feel a little more refreshed during the day.
Best moment this week: The food at work! Everyone has been bringing in chili, soups, cakes... yum! Just in time for my increase in appetite ;-)
Worst moment this week: Return of the headaches and sinus congestion. Blah.
Miss anything: Have I ever mentioned that I really miss beer? And I would give my left arm for some sushi... the spicy tuna and salmon with asparagus rolls have been calling my name for weeks.
Movement: Feeling just a little! Usually at night when I'm sitting or lying down.
Cravings: Again, the usual suspects: Milk, orange juice, limeade, cherry limeade and now, raspberry tea or half tea/half lemonade. Also making it's way onto the tops list: anything spicy. Chips and salsa, Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwish, hot pepper cheese, hot wing sauce (I put it on everything) and sriracha. Only had to enlist the assitance of my trusty Tums once! ;-)
Queasy or sick: Eggs. Bleh.
Happy or moody: Why have I not added "emotional basketcase" to this list? Mostly kidding... But seriously, I can tear up at the drop of a hat.
Looking forward to: More movement!! Seriously kid, kick it up! I also am excited for our 18 week appointment on the 23rd!
